40,000 Bedouin women barred from voting by residency rules

Women in unrecognised Bedouin villages struggle to exercise voting rights due to tribal registration rather than geographical addresses, forcing some to travel tens of kilometres to polling stations. Advocacy groups have called for at least 35 additional polling booths in these communities, with approximately 80% of eligible women unable to vote due to bureaucratic and cultural barriers.
